All That Blue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798899903960)

All That Blue traverses geographies of place, mental illness, coming-of-age, and desire. The poems take on a variety of free-verse forms and hinge on images of the natural world as they reflect the speaker's interiority. Blue forms the connective tissue between natural places; desert and ocean are elided through their blueness. So too do the interior and the exterior landscapes combine: a blueness of mind and of body. All That Blue contends with questions of identity and how to represent the self on the page, ultimately landing on a shape that is both fragment and shadow, a shape that demands the logic of lyric.
